Supercomputers


Supercomputers are the most powerful computers made,and physically they are some of the largest .These systems can process huge amount of data,and the fastest supercomputers can perform more than one trill on calculations per second.Some super computers can house thousands of professors.Supercomputers are ideal for handling large and highly complex problems that require extreme calculating power .For example supercomputers have long been used in the mapping of the human genome,forecasting weather,and modeling complex process like nuclear fusion.
